{"product_id":"book-duj4","title":"Forever England : The Life Of Rupert Brooke","description":"Forever England explores Rupert Brooke’s life, from schooldays to the Great War, and in so doing builds a remarkable picture of a long-lost England and a generation’s descent into war. Brooke’s poems emerge dramatically from a tangled web of love, friendship, mental illness and politics. He reveals also the existence of a previously unrecorded love child from a South Seas romance.\u003cbr\u003eThe WW1 legend was largely brought about by the words of one of his sonnets: ‘If I should die, think only this of me\/That there’s some corner of a foreign field that is forever England.’ The poem, and all that it represented, became the focal point of a nation’s grief for its lost youth.\u003cbr\u003eAsked why Brooke was special, his Commander-in-Chief answered, \"Is it because he was a hero? There were thousands? Is it because he looked a hero? There were a few. Is it because he had genius? There were others. But Rupert Brooke held all these three gifts of the gods in his hands.\u003cbr\u003eForever England is written and narrated by Mike Read.","brand":"Author's Republic","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49429928083760,"sku":"BDduj4","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/313213-duj4-Square.jpg?v=1736328396","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-duj4","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
